When you have Shiny Object Syndrome you will never make it towards that success plateau that you’re seeking. So it can seem as though you’re stuck on a Island but you get mail, tons of it too! Your only choice is to buy it, maybe this time it will be success! Wrong! Don’t get me wrong, I do understand. I’m a recovering S.O.S. addict myself, I was always buying the next hot thing hoping it would do the same wonders for my business. In the end none of these new gadgets or software really will work for the new marketer because it takes away the one thing you need most, your focus!

How To Get Your Focus Back:

There is one thing you can do to exercise those S.O.S. symptoms away and that’s to attack it at it’s core. What is the most tantalizing thing about S.O.S.? The ad copy:

Get Thousands of Leads With This Software In 24 Hours!

Turn Facebook into A Money Machine Overnight!

This Will Increase Your ROI By The 100’s!

Write Response Getting Content In Minutes!

Save Time With This! Get More Money With That!

The ad copy is usually top notch and speaks to your current pain: Save Time, Make Money Quicker, Get Leads, Grow Your Business. I’m going to tell you one simple method that will actually grow your business with consistency & focus. Copy it all down! That’s right, the next email or ad you see that is compelling enough for you to look at and think about buying will turn on your mental red light. When you’re next exposed to something you think is a great product to buy, see that red light in your head. Flashing red light (really try it, it works).

When The Red Light Special Goes Off:

Marketing Strategy – Red-Light Special

Once you start to see that flashing red light in your minds eye, copy down the ad copy. Copy it word for word, study it and use it to apply to your business (never use any ad copy that’s is exact to the one you copied). This will improve your own ad copy and give you laser focus on your own business so you can put out your own ads with similar eye catching copy! The other thing you much absolutely do to reinforce this habit is to STOP! When your mind makes the flashing light go off, think these two things:

Can this improve what I already know and do daily?

Will this move me away from my focus?

Just for good measure, you have to be laser focused on improving your business with consistency. Your a marketer, the last thing you need is for another marketer to sell you on something that won’t get you further along.
